Rules
-
Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.
-
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
-
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
-
Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

GPU of only 12gb will not support resolutions above 1440p, so that won't get you 10 years well.
With 14 series supporting APO and previous version not, you'd be better off with a 14 i5 even over 13700k. Better yet 14700k or better.
PSU is too weak and not a good deal; 1000w $119, or 1200w $149
EK cr360 is the best performing 360mm AIO out there and almost half the price of NZXT whatever that is
All that being said you're in for one hell of an upgrade π
PSUs are 165 and 200 respectively, as expected for a 1000w and a 1200w PSU, where did you get that it was 119 and 149?

I never understood this, I use my 3070 with even less VRAM, at 4k resolution in every game I come across. The most I've ever had to do was decrease resolution scale to 1440p. High settings, 60fps.
I can give a huge list of games I play in this setup, but they're not indie games or anything. I'm talking triple A titles. Obviously I'm not running any of these on a high refresh rate monitor, but 60 fps is completely playable, and if I wanted to I can switch to 1440p low or medium for the 40 extra fps.
1200w way overkill.
Not on sale for $149 with 10 year warranty itβs not
